Immortality begins with meditation puppets

"Gao Erqiang, prepare to die!"

Upon arriving at the Western Sea, the Tiger-Taming True Man, who had just managed to control himself, let out a loud roar, unleashing the power of a fourth-order body cultivator, transforming into the might of the Law of Heaven and Earth, and instantly transforming into a giant Dao body thousands of feet tall.

With each opening and closing of its enormous mouth, it sucked in wind and clouds, absorbing an unknown amount of spiritual energy. Every move it made was accompanied by towering waves, far surpassing the power of the fish-head shovel Su Qing had seen before.

His thousand-foot-tall body stood on the sea surface without causing a ripple, a testament to the fourth-level body cultivator's mastery of controlling his own strength to the extreme.

He headed straight for Erqiang, but Erqiang transformed into a cloud and moved away with him and Du'e Zhenren to fight ten thousand miles away.

"You cowardly brat, you underestimate me?"

As a physical cultivator, he was far less agile than a magic cultivator. Seeing that Gao Erqiang ignored him, Fuhu Zhenren was furious and was about to chase after Erqiang.

The moment he set off, Su Qing and his group of cultivators blocked his path.

Su Qing brought quite a few people with her at this moment, and none of them were ordinary individuals.

Ji Yong'en and Ye Suo, two peak third-tier sword cultivators, one horizontal and one vertical, one offensive and one defensive, are the twin pillars of the far west, and can be called invincible at the third tier.

Shi Zhifang, together with six elders of the Demonic Sect, formed an array to fight, and their strength was not to be underestimated.

The lion brother he lured with the Four Lions of Emptiness, along with a group of demon brothers, possessed considerable combat power at the third-tier Golden Core level.

Judging solely by strength, compared to the True Man Fuhu on the other side, the cultivators and demons behind Su Qing were still somewhat trembling.

As Master Fuhu drew closer and closer, the cultivators and demons trembled with fear, all waiting for Su Qing to take the lead.

"Look at you all cowering like this! Are fourth-tier body cultivators really that terrifying? My father-in-law isn't afraid at all; he's certainly up for a fight!"

Delong stepped forward, secretly mocking these third-tier Golden Core cultivators for having such cultivation levels but lacking Delong's courage. If Delong weren't only a second-tier Foundation Establishment cultivator, he wouldn't need his father-in-law to lift a finger; he would have already taken action himself.

"Does Fellow Daoist Ying want to take the lead?" Su Qing followed up on De Long's words and turned to look at Ying Wushen, who had been pushed forward by De Long.

Ying Wushen glanced at the giant sea-walking opposite him, glared angrily at Delong, and wondered if the kid was doing it on purpose. Was he impatient to die of old age and wanted to inherit his family business as soon as possible?

But since Delong had pushed him out, Ying Wushen had no intention of backing down.

"Fellow Daoists, watch as I, Ying, first confront this Tiger-Taming Immortal!"

With a loud shout, the old hero Ying Wushen, his armor gleaming, leaped into the air and charged towards the Tiger-Taming Immortal.

But then a clang rang out, and before the old hero could even reach Master Fuhu, he was stabbed in the chest by a sword.

Upon closer inspection, all the cultivators realized it was none other than Lu Wentian, the fourth-tier spirit assassin from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion!
The fourth-tier Spirit Assassin was truly extraordinary; his appearance and attack were unpredictable.

Only after the old hero let out a painful groan did the cultivators notice his thin figure holding a double-edged dagger.

"You old viper, you've shown your fangs today! Why aren't you helping your master, the True Man of Salvation, but instead coming to bite me!"

Surprisingly, despite being tricked by Lü Wentian, the old hero appeared completely unharmed and was still able to shout out his curses with great force.

Lu Wentian's gaze fell on Ying Wushen's armor, and he said in a sinister tone:
"Master Du'e is of unparalleled power, why would he need my help? You, the traitor of Penglai, descendant of the Ying family of the Immortal Armor Clan, are my target."

I've long suspected that your legendary armor heritage is intricately linked to the Ying family. I've been watching you for over a thousand years, but you've kept it well hidden and have never revealed the Yingzhao armor.

"By revealing this fourth-tier Yingzhao armor today, do you think you won't be held accountable by Penglai when you're in Wanghai in the future?"

Upon hearing Lü Wentian's words, Su Qing and the others immediately focused their attention on the old hero's armor.

The armor was as thin as a cicada's wing, radiating divine light, and decorated with mythical beast patterns of a horse's body with a human face, tiger stripes, and bird wings. Lu Wentian's attack had only left a white mark on the armor.

"Fellow Daoist Shao, you've really struck gold! I always said marrying a woman from the Ying family wasn't a bad deal for you!"

Knowing that Jia Tianxia was no ordinary person, Su Qing turned her head and congratulated Shao Delong.

The Ying family of Penglai was once one of the prominent families of Penglai, a family of armor masters who passed down their skills for generations. The armor system that Penglai Immortal Island has today was built by this family in the past.

It is precisely because of this kind of foundation that Jia Tian was able to forge battle armor that was praised by all the immortal kingdoms, not even including their most skilled Yingzhao battle armor.

"The Yingzhao Battle Armor is a divine beast series battle armor. My family originally crafted five sets. Two were given to the great cultivator of Penglai, where they played a great role in the battle when Penglai Island rose into the sky. The other two were destroyed more than a thousand years ago during that great change in Penglai."

The body I'm wearing is one I took from my father's mutilated body!
"I have no intention of dwelling on past grievances. But you people are determined to annihilate my Ying family and relentlessly pursue me. What else can I do but fight to the death!"

The old hero spoke with a heavy tone, yet his expression remained calm, as if he had truly forgotten the tragic destruction of his family by Penglai. Su Qing and the others, however, could hear the helplessness in his voice.

It wasn't that he had forgotten his grudges, but rather that he knew he lacked the ability to take revenge on Penglai!

"If you are willing to take Jia Tian to Penglai to confess your sins, there may still be a possibility for you to join my Penglai family!"

Lu Wentian was neither from the Penglai aristocratic family nor was he one of the parties involved in the annihilation of the Ying family. He was simply doing his job as an employee, and after saying a few words, he started fighting with the old hero who was cursing him.

These two, one with ghostly and elusive movements, the other with unparalleled armor defense, fought further and further away until they disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving the other cultivators stunned and wondering if these two old foxes were putting on an act.

This inspired the Green Lion King, Shi Zhifang, and others.

In the blink of an eye, the demon brothers and the demon sect brothers found their respective opponents and began fighting against the Golden Core cultivators sent by Penglai Immortal Island and Thousand Island Immortal Kingdom.

Looking at the two brothers, Ji Yongen and Ye Suo, who were the only ones left beside her, Su Qing sighed and realized that the sword cultivator brothers were the most reliable.

"Fellow Daoist Su, I'm going now. If I die, please don't forget to fulfill your promise to me about the things you made for the far west!"

Ji Yong'en drew his sword, clasped his fists, and went straight to meet Fuhu Zhenren, who was less than a thousand feet away from them!
"If it weren't for Ying'er, hmph, if I were to die, you'd better treat Ying'er better in the future!"

Ye Su coldly uttered a sentence, and then followed Ji Yongen as they leaped out with their swords.

The two swords from the far west were joined together.

The two stood facing north and south, their swords drawn east and west. The swift wind of their swords created a whirlwind of returning to the void, while the thick earth rippled with the shadows of their swords amidst the yellow soil.

One attacked and the other defended, their teamwork was impeccable. As soon as they landed in front of Master Fuhu, even Master Fuhu showed a solemn expression.

"Good sword cultivator. I didn't expect that you people in the far west have been tinkering with ancient sword techniques for so many years, and you've actually managed to come up with something."

Swords blow in all directions, attacking and defending without leaving a trace. This must be the skill of that fourth-tier old sword cultivator in the far west. You two are his disciples.

He's learned quite well from that old swordsman, but alas, his cultivation is insufficient, and his swordsmanship is lacking. With these methods, he's far from being my match!

Master Fuhu seemed to have a past relationship with Ye Suo and Ji Yongen's master. Thinking of their old friendship, he sighed and then spat out a tiger-shaped true light, which easily broke through Ji Yongen's thick earth sword intent. As for Ye Suo's swift wind sword, it did not even break through his protective aura when it struck him!
Having easily dealt with the sword cultivator brothers, Master Fuhu was about to head to the battlefield between Master Gao Erqiang and Master Du'e.

Unexpectedly, Su Qing remained standing in the same spot.

"Why aren't you leaving, you puppeteer? Do you perhaps want to challenge me? With just those third-tier puppets of yours?"

It's not that Master Fuhu looks down on Su Qing; well, he really does look down on Su Qing.

A third-tier puppeteer might have very popular puppets, but how many puppets can one person control? And how can he possibly kill a fourth-tier body cultivator?
Good guy!
This puppeteer is truly inhuman!
Master Fuhu thought Su Qing was courting death, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, countless puppets appeared in front of and behind Su Qing.

There were flying creatures in the sky and swimming creatures in the sea: a two-headed dragon, a giant golden roc, ugly mountain goblins, strange dolls carrying missiles, and four golden lions wearing unique little collars...

"Well, I underestimated you. To be able to control so many puppets by yourself, your mastery of divine sense is indeed enough to loosen my muscles!"

The thousand-foot-tall Fuhu Zhenren's voice was like thunder, deafening. Even though Su Qing was already wearing the tiger egg and had the tiger egg and his armor to block the pressure of his energy, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Now the situation in the Western Sea is extremely precarious, and the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom has countless troubles to deal with. You should know that if Wanghai City were to decline and perish, it would be detrimental to the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom in every way."

"Right now, we are merely vying for control of the Sea of ​​View, not engaged in a life-or-death feud. This humble Taoist only wishes to learn a thing or two from you, Master, and hopes you will show mercy!"

Su Qing had noticed early on that although the Tiger-Taming Immortal looked fierce, his attitude towards them was actually much friendlier than that of the Du'e Immortal, who represented Penglai Immortal Island.

Ultimately, Penglai Immortal Island ascended to the heavens, and the situation in the Western Sea deteriorated. They could interfere if they wanted, but if they didn't, the evil sea beasts wouldn't be able to reach Penglai Island and damage its foundation.

However, the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom was different. Evil sea monsters and monsters were causing trouble in the Western Sea, and the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom, with its islands scattered throughout the Western Sea, was the first to bear the brunt of the attack.

For them, Wanghai City, a celestial city that could help alleviate some of the pressure and reliably supply them with various cultivation resources, was by no means dispensable.

They wanted to seize Wanghai City for themselves, or at the very least, ensure its continued existence.

This is fundamentally different from the Penglai Immortal Island, which would rather destroy the city than possess it.

"You've got a pretty good eye, kid. But if you think you can make me bow down, let's see how capable you are!"

Master Fuhu laughed loudly, signaling Su Qing to use his puppet to attack first.

Su Qing apologized and fled over a hundred miles away. Once he was within a safe zone, he adopted a completely different fighting style than before, not engaging in direct combat but instead remotely controlling a puppet. (End of Chapter)
